PEN ONLY!!

47. What makes a good thesis
Show you understand all parts of the question
Show you can glean some ideas to show some analysis from the docs in opening paragraph
Fill up a page with your analysis

48. What makes a good [analysis of] POV
The “relating author: has TWO elements:
Show that the source has some bias, AND
How his words in THIS article are showing that bias
Tone – should be described referring back to where tone was shown, and THAT his tone effected his words
Reliability – that his reliability is in question, or that he IS reliable, why, and how he shows it
Purpose of Docs – describe what the purpose is, and how his words show that purpose

49. Example: Authorial
Good: “Prince Leopold discussed how Belgium are capable of owning colonies, and how they help make a state powerful. As heir to the Belgian throne, it is not surprising that Prince Leopold supported imperialism since he wanted to increase the power and prestige of the country he would one day rule (doc. 1).” Bad: “Louis Bernard was a French colonial official who, in his memoir, stated that he felt France got over its humiliation by conquering Algeria (doc. 12).”

50. Example: Authorial
Good: “Joseph Chamberlain discussed how important colonies are to Britain. Since Chamberlain was a British industrialist, he naturally supported imperialism since he probably stood to gain economically from the continued growth of the British Empire (doc. 4).” Bad: “Benjamin Disraeli encouraged taking Suez Canal as a political move, rather that purchasing it as a business venture. Since Disraeli is a politician, he must be biased (doc. 2).”

51. Example: Reliability
Good: “The resolution from the German Social Democratic Party Congress is probably a biased source since as socialists they would naturally condemn a capitalist agenda (doc. 9).” “Merlin is a governor general of a colony so his pro-imperialist point of view is not surprising since his job was dependent upon the success of French imperialism.”

52. Example: Docs have dif. purpose
Good: “Since Benjamin Disraeli was delivering a speech to the House of Commons, he probably chose his words carefully to persuade members to support his political agenda (doc. 2).” “Lord Rosebery was writing a letter to a newspaper, which was clearly a public forum; therefore, this document could be viewed as a form of propaganda (doc. 8).” Bad “Since Archibald Philip Primrose is writing a letter, he is being honest (doc. 8).” Why is this unacceptable? This statement fails to account for the fact that Primrose is writing a letter for a newspaper, which is a very public document, not a private correspondence.

53. Example: Tone
“Because Bismarck was most concerned with power politics on the European continent, his comments regarding imperialism seem somewhat satirical (doc. 3).”

54. What it means to analyze docs
Show you know what the intention of the document is, in relation to the question
DO NOT QUOTE
Show you’re using the document to prove your thesis

55. What it means to group docs
Goal is to have three docs in a paragraph
That way, you can mess one up, and still have two
Start each paragraph with an explanation as to why you grouped those docs together
If you have four docs in a paragraph, split, and make two separate paragraphs

56. Final clean-up Put numbers of docs in outside margin
Label POV in same margin where you attempted POV
Verify you used a majority of the docs
Verify you attempted POV and groupings more than three times (more is better!)
Extra points for:
Using outside information (integrating it)
Using more POV or groupings or docs
Showing super deep analysis of docs or question
TIME YOUR PLAN
